Whish / South Indian Sanskrit Manuscript Collection.

The manuscript is listed in the synoptical list of manuscript numbers (Whish numbers and Winternitz numbers) at the beginning of ’A catalogue of South Indian Sanskrit manuscripts (especially those of the Whish Collection) belonging to the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland’ by M. Winternitz, with an appendix by F. W. Thomas (London: RAS, 1902). Winternitz notes that the manuscript is "not Sanskrit" and there is therefore no entry for it in the catalogue, and no Winternitz number.

J. L. Whish, gift of manuscripts collected by his brother C. M. Whish, July 1836.
